Pretoria - The plight of mothers who have either given birth to their babies during the lockdown or are still to give birth is to be decided in the Constitutional Court.Following President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement of a lockdown and that all stores, except those selling food and emergency supplies would be closed, mothers who gave birth shortly after the lockdown came into effect, and those going into labour soon are left out in the cold.
The applicants said they have no issue at all with the measures put in place by Ramaphosa regarding the lockdown. The application is brought in terms of constitutional rights as it affects the best interests of children.Lekoko stated that if the apex court did not intervene on an urgent basis, the babies born during this time or yet to be born might be left without clothes to keep them warm.Lekoko said the lack of clothes might lead to these newborns contracting Covid-19, if they don’t have proper clothing to cover them.
Pregnancy lasts 9 months. You don't wait till baby is born to buy clothes. Stop publishing nonsense.

Why does this need to go to constitutional court are we that stupid to not make simple decisions as these?
